This has to stop.

Oh right for the immersion.

Hey look, I'm so close to this guard he can feel my breath, but don't worry, since I'm behind him he won't notice a thing!

Oh noes, they got an assault craft! What'll we do.. oh nvm, here's a conveniently placed anti-air cannon. Yes, the story is so good and the game is so immersive, holy crap!

If I notice I'm the only new player in that run, then yes I consider it the polite thing to do to skip the cutscenes and watch them later. I don't know if they would've cared or not, since nobody really cared for me being a firsttimer, but I would consider it rude to waste the time of 7 other people. In return for the "awesome" story not being fluid and my "immersion" being broken or something, I got a fluid run with barely any mistakes. I'd say I struck a bargain there.

That's your play style, don't try to push that same play style onto others. It's the players own choice if he/she wants to skip or not.
I'm guessing, you're the type that will also start complaining if you find other watching CS huh? Wanna get together in a dungeon through DF? /grin

Nope. Never complained about watching CS. Heck haven't even completed about people completely botching up runs. Still doesn't change the fact that if there's 7 people that want to get the run done and 1 person that hasn't done it before I consider it the polite thing to do to skip CS and watch them later.

Also, all the "let em play as they want" shouters are just showing how they want to be jerks by pissing off others, so yeah perhaps you should have a look at yourself first? "hey look at me, I'm gonna rewatch a CS just to piss you off!"

No matter what point you try to make, it all comes to the same root: If you use the Duty Finder and have a new player in the group, They have the right to watch the cutscene if they want to. It's how people are reacting to this that is causing issue. And to add, the cutscenes are only 30-45 seconds long. Waiting for that player to get out of the cutscene shouldn't cause any problems, they aren't long at all. Basically, if you join the Duty Finder for Speedruns then expect new people in the party and expect people to watch cutscenes.

Re-watching cutscenes? LOL. Now anyone who watches cutscenes for the second time IF they join a speedrun, is just wasting time and deserve to be 'talked' to. But a player whom is new to the run through the Duty finder? No. No one has any right to belittle this player for watching the cutscenes.
